Hi! i own a 90 eclipse and suddenly this morning it wont start?? batt. term. is a lil loose and corroded but cleaned it and still wont start! i only here a "tick" sound everytime i try to turn it on. HELP MEE PLEASE!!! what do you think is the problem?? is t the battery?? terminals???? starter??? what ya think??

 

It ticks? Have you tried jumping it yet? Sounds like possibly a bad starter soleniod... Try tapping the starteer with a hammer or wrench if it turns over then then you have a bad starter soleniod you'll need to replace the starter. And tap it a good one no light taps. Smack it good and try to start. That may get you through a few days but I wouldn't push it.

 

Loose terminal and corrosion? Your battery is dead. It was not getting a good charge because of the loose connection and corrosion. Clean the terminals with water and baking soda. Reconnect the terminals. Give it a jump and you are good to go. However, if your battery is more than 5 years old, get a new one.

 

just wanna thank you guys!!! i'll try to change the terminals tonight and then maybe buy a new starter.. i apppreciate it a lot! by the way do you have any idea where i can find the location of the starterin my eclipse??

 

The starter should be on the back, underside of your engine.

 

ill try to look for it, and replace a new one. Ty so much

 

You are going to try the little (and free) things these guys suggested first right? It would be a shame to run out and buy parts without testing what you have.
